$1 Felting Needle Holder 1-4 Needles

Fellow felters know how expensive those little needle holders can be. They run about $15-$20 in craft stores, and if you buy them on line there is shipping to pay.

So I decided to make my own, ergonomic version with junk from around my house. 

Warning: Clover needles claim not using their holder with their product can be dangerous. So if you some how maim your self doing this project, you have been warned.  

Step 1 Tools and Materials

1   Dollar Store Flash Light

2   Buttons that fits into the pipe behind the flashlight bowl but does not fall through.You also want to make sure that the needles just fit
in the holes. Too big and they wiggle, too small and the fat portion of the needle won't pass though.

4   Felting needles

1   Ball of roving to stuff behind the needles to hold them still.

1   Exact-o blade

Great work! Simple, cheap and usefull.

And additionally the flash light body makes great container for spare needles and other small utensils and paraphernalia :-)

Thank you. It totally does. Also if you do it like I did you can technically put it back together and it's still a functional flash light.
